Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Swiss cheese
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the Swiss cheese into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm x 2 cm.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour with the salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dip each cube of Swiss cheese into the seasoned flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured cheese cube into the beaten eggs, coating it completely.
Finally, roll the cheese cube in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well. Place the coated cubes on a plate or tray.
Repeat the process for all the cheese cubes, then refrigerate them for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere better.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Fry the coated Swiss cheese cubes in small batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan, for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cheese cubes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the fried Swiss cheese warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or honey mustard. Enjoy!
